Burann Bangtanode

The grounds were serene, with a lush lawn and direct access to the river. The Thai wooden design is beautiful, and the spacious, air-conditioned rooms were comfortable. We booked for a weekend team retreat from Bangkok, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, cleaning up at all hours, handling the group's requests and noise, and making us a delicious breakfast. It was a good spot for a Nang Yai show, about a 10-minute drive away, or Khao Bin cave, around 30 minutes away. Far enough from the city center to get away from the bustle. Highly recommend for a solo or group getaway in Ratchaburi. One note: there’s no pool on the property, despite some online listings saying there is.

Our two-story, two-bedroom suite had an amazing river view, and the property was clean and nicely kept. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel at home. They were very accommodating with our family's breakfast choices each day. Being able to communicate with them daily through LINE was a game changer.

The traditional Thai wooden style makes this hotel quite unusual, and only two rooms look directly over the river. The breakfast, prepared and served at the hotel, was excellent, though other food is only available through outside delivery. The shower and toilet were basic but worked. The king-size bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The place is clean but looks tired, and the staff are friendly. It isn't inexpensive.

Very neat and clean accommodation, and the service felt about five-star. I thought it was worth the price. Since the building is wooden, noise could make it unsuitable for small kids.
